Politics and new practices:
Fads – being “in” and “out”
Countries in which culture is dictated by the government, or by presenters who tend to stifle these new practices
Countries in which classical ballet still predominates (ex. Italy)

Philosophy and new practices:
New practices are linked to where the artist is coming from and where s/he has been, geography and environment – la provenance des artistes

How artists and presenters can foster these new practices:
Adapt to the demands of new technologies
Create more flexible, multi-functional spaces
Créer des “epaces de vie” — create “spaces for life, for living” – modular residencies, living spaces…
Consider young new publics who are used to the “zapping” of images, acceleration but also
work with the reality of inter-generational audiences
How to work with an excessive amount of programming (ex. in large urban centres)
Need for intelligent, open-minded, ever-evolving presenters who embrace these new practices
Foster better, more sustainable relationships between artists and presenters

How can networks support these new practices:
Work together to provide more money and time for artistic work
Balance the two poles: grouping together to support one artist vs. creating informal and ephemeral partnerships to support artists who fall outside of these kinds of supporting networks
Build spaces that are better adapted to these new practices (more flexible, more windows, etc.)
